And in other news, social media star,
Rae Adams is making a splash again
with the premiere of her new water-park based prank show.
I see what you did there.
And while this one is sure to be a hit...
Dare we say, blow the others out of the water?
We will share all of the updates
on production as they come in.
Until next time, here at Pop Social,
- I am your host Allee. - And I'm Maisie.
Cut!
Hey, great show today, Allee.
I was thinking maybe for tomorrow we could try something different?
I don't know, switch it up.
If you have any ideas, we could talk later.
Michelle, hey.
- Oh, Michelle. - Ah, good morning, Maisie.
Did you happen to catch the show today?
I did. Just the tail end of it.
Ah, so, I was reviewing old shows last night
and I think we have a real opportunity here
to take Pop Social to the next level.
You know, do segments on more than just pop culture.
Give our viewers something that would really help
improve their lives along with the daily updates.
I love how seriously you take your role on this show, Maisie.
But as I've said before, the format works.
People know that in 22 minutes
they can get their fast, fun, pop culture fix.
- Right, right. - Yeah.
Yes. Totally and I agree with you 100 percent.
Oh, good.
Not that I would ever question you.
I mean, I suggested something, but it wasn't a question.
I was just wondering if you would at least hear my pitch?
Have something by the end of the day
and I'll hear what you have to say.
Come by my office at 4:00.
Okay, okay.
Hey, Babe.
- Let me grab some of that. - Thanks.
So, I landed a meeting with the Langfords.
- You did not! - I did.
They're super interested in advertising with us.
I'm meeting their team for dinner tonight.
Oh, tonight?
I thought we had our belated birthday, Valentine's day,
- anniversary dinner tonight? - That's tonight?
Oh, shoot. I totally forgot.
I've been trying to land this meeting for so long,
I was so excited when they agreed,
- it must have slipped my mind. - No. That's okay.
I understand. That's a big deal.
And we can push our already belated celebration
a couple of days. Right?
I have to focus anyway.
Michelle's gonna hear my pitch
for the new prime time show spot.
I'm glad she agreed.
When I heard the network was adding a new show,
I pitched you to her right away.
What you lack in experience,
you make up with talent and work ethic.
You deserve a real shot at this, Mase.
Go get 'em.
Right back at you.
Okay.
Congratulations.
He finally popped the question.
It was such a surprise.
I can't believe it actually happened.
It's beautiful.
Dave and I are engaged.
Oh! When did he pop the question?
Last night.
We haven't told anyone yet. Except for you guys.
Oh. Congratulations, Allee.
Maybe you're next?
Oh.
Uh, oh, boy.
Congratulations.
Maisie, come on in.
So, what have you got for me?
Well, uh, as you know...
The TNW Network
was founded with shows to both entertain and educate.
I mean, obviously, you helped create many of these shows.
We've evolved and grown a lot in the last 15 years,
but I just feel we have a real opportunity here
to get back to our roots.
In a way that's more authentic.
You know, less produced, less polished.
In a way that is still geared toward our social media
based viewers, but with a twist.
Um, I was thinking...
A cooking show. Featuring celebrity talent,
making a home-made family meal with me while being interviewed.
Or... a tutorial show.
People doing make-up with their eyes closed.
We tried that a few years ago.
- Just wasn't strong enough. - Oh.
Or... a show that features the world's most extraordinary...
...Pets. Right?
I mean, the world's really our... oyster with that one.
Flower delivery.
What are these for?
To say congratulations.
Congratulations?
- Yes, congratulations. - For...
Wait.
Wait, Michelle, really?
Uh, really.
These are to say congratulations?
- Hence the sign. - Oh, my, God, I...
I totally thought I was bombing.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you. I will not let you down.
I know that Nate spoke with you
and I'm just so excited for this next chapter, I...
Wow! These are gorgeous.
Uh, congratulations to Allee on her engagement.
Allee.
I didn't get the spec pilot?
Not yet.
You can just set those on the table there, thank you.
But wait, Allee just told us about her engagement like,
an hour ago, tops.
So, that means the flowers would have to be done today.
That's our business model.
Same-day deliver, sometimes in the same hour.
- The app's called Bloom. - Wow.
- That's kind of impressive. - We know.
So then how come I've never heard of you guys?
Well, we're just getting off the ground, so.
- Ah, you're new. - Not, new, new, no.
But new.
Okay, yeah, sure. Kind of new.
- And you're local? - We are local, yes.
You ask a lot of questions.
Well, I'm a journalist.
Mm-hmm, right.
Okay, well, the receipt's in the e-mail.
You have a good day.
Maisie?
I have an idea for your spec.
Sir, excuse me.
Florist, fellow?
Yoo-hoo!
Did you just say "yoo-hoo"?
Sure did. Looks like it worked.
- Hi, I'm Maisie. - Hi, Maisie.
So, um, this flower delivery thing.
- Bloom, the app. - Yes, that.
How would you feel if The TNW Network featured it
as the subject for a new potential pilot?
Absolutely not.
Wait, what?
Um...
Look, we're not interested, but thanks.
Hear me out.
Ma'am, can you please move your hand?
I am way too young to be a ma'am.
It's not the point.
The point is...
I would love if you'd reconsider.
Okay. Fine. Consider it reconsidered.
- Really?! - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean, the answer is still no,
but you... have a good day.
Ma'am.
You really thought the flowers were for you?
I mean, looking back on it now, Jess.
Oh, I would have loved to see Michelle's face.
I wish I could forget it.
So, now, I have to try to go convince Mr. Grumpy
flower app guy to let me put him in my pilot.
But the more research I do on them, the more I realize
this actually could be really cool.
His family owns this local floral shop
and they host a competition for florists every year.
- Apparently, it's a big deal. - That's original.
But how are you going to get Mr. Grumpy flower app guy to say yes?
Well, with the budget Michelle gave me,
I think I can do something really cool.
If I don't use the allotted money for lighting or wardrobe
and I handle it myself, I should have enough
to possibly buy out his shop for a week
and let him gift the flowers for free in exchange
- for letting me do the show. - That's genius.
Let's hope he thinks so, but... Speaking of genius,
how's your new line coming along?
Honestly, it's almost done.
I just haven't found the right moment to debut it.
You'll know. Your wedding gowns
are always absolutely show stopping.
I know this new line will be nothing less.
- Ah. - Thank you for the latte.
Thank you for midday distraction.
You are my favourite little sister.
I'm your only little sister.
Still, my favourite.
Just like Heather is my favourite big sister.
Hello?
Hello?
Anyone here?
- Hi! - Oh!
Sorry.
What are you doing here?
I came to talk.
You followed me?
Well, kind of but...
Look, you already know my position.
I know. But I think you would reconsider
if you heard what I had to say.
I am up for a promotion at The TNW Network.
A chance for me to get my own show.
Wait, the show that you thought you already got?
Maybe. Anyway, the only idea that my boss liked
was a pilot on your business.
And I'm doing some research,
on you guys, your shop and the competition,
I think there's a way that I could make this
beneficial for you as well.
I have a bit of a budget and I could use some of it
to buy out all your flower deliveries for a week.
- You'd do that? - Orders that come in during
the shoot would be free for customers,
in exchange for letting me film the actual delivery.
- Okay. - Okay?!
Yeah, I mean no. I'm not agreeing to it,
but I am willing to hear your pitch.
When I'm not swamped with work.
Come by The Grind tomorrow at 1:30.
- Perfect! I will see you then. - Wait! Don't...
...Step on those.
- I am so sorry. - Yeah.
I'm sorry.
- Well, that sounds brilliant. - It's going to be.
Oh, how did Heather's tenure meeting go?
She made it past the first round.
Ooh, and our niece's spelling bee?
Oh, she sent me a picture.
- Isn't Lily amazing? - Oh, my gosh, she's perfect.
Our sister is raising a perfect human.
I know.
Oh, did you hear anything back about your new line?
I did. After the Wedding Bliss magazine article came out,
I sent out a few designs to potential investors and one just got back to me.
Amazing.
Yeah, this media mogul wants to get into fashion,
but hasn't found an avenue that fits her sustainable brand.
- Until yours. - Until mine.
How's Nate? We haven't seen him in a while.
He's good. He's um...
Swamped with work. But you know, good swamped.
"Everything he's ever wanted" kind of swamped.
You guys have been together for a while now. Any plans?
Yeah. I mean, yeah. Lots of plans.
Career plans, which is, you know, good.
Yeah, yeah. It's good, it's great.
- Mm. What was that? - What was what?
That reaction?
Oh, nothing. Just... We're not there yet.
But um, anyway, back to your investor.
Oh, hey.
I have a little congratulations on getting
the spec off the ground surprise for you.
You do?
Lunch. At your favourite spot.
Wow, that's so cool.
Yeah, they were a huge client to land
and Zach is talking about the big P word.
Promotion?
Oh, my gosh, Nate.
I know, it's everything I've worked for for the last decade.
Head of marketing for a major network.
Next step in the master plan
of me opening my own marketing agency one day.
It would be huge. You deserve it.
Speaking of deserving, how's the pilot spec?
Ah, it's good.
Could be better.
Anything I could help with?
I'm giving the Kunals, the family behind the florist,
the app and the competition, my pitch today.
They hold this big floral design competition every year,
and from what I read online, it's got quite a following.
I wonder if there is a way we can partner with them.
Like sponsor the event or something?
Use it as an out of house marketing experience.
We approve marketing funds for Allee's big pilot,
so it's only fair that we do it for yours too.
Nick, that's brilliant.
Anything to help you achieve your goals.
Thanks for always believing in me.
Okay, you're good. Zach says, as long as they agree
to televise the event on our network exclusively,
then we can sponsor the event.
You're the best.
You make it easy.
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
Okay. So...
I think there's something really great here.
What we can do is showcase your app
leading up to the competition.
So, it will be almost like a day in the life,
but in a way that shows how your business makes people's lives more convenient.
And the network is willing to double the prize fund
in exchange for letting us televise the competition
and do some light advertising.
You want to double our prize fund?
And buy out the shop for the week?
And promote it on our social media.
Which would not only feature you and your family,
but the florists in the competition.
It would give them good exposure.
So?
Okay, I'll admit this wasn't what I was expecting.
However, if I do agree, I have some stipulations.
Which are?
I get final approval of the footage being used
and I don't go on camera.
Okay, well...
The delivery situation is kind of the whole point of the show, so I just--
Then it's no.
- Okay. - Okay?
If you don't want to go on camera, we can work around that.
And you're not just saying that so I agree to do the show.
No.
Okay, what about this? We compromise.
I'll shoot it all, but we'll have an open line of communication.
If something feels, whatever you're worried about it feeling,
we'll chat through it together. I will run everything by you.
- Everything? - Everything.
Ah.
Still sensing some hesitation.
How about a trial run?
We'll see how we work together before committing to anything.
That sounds...
...Possible.
Possible is all I'm looking for.
Hey, Dad.
This is Maisie from The TNW.
Nice to meet you.
You as well. I'm Jasper.
Maisie.
Which Wren just said, sorry. Hi.
Hi, welcome. Can we give you a tour?
- That would be great. - All right.
What's up?
The Botanical Society.
- Oh, you finally got through? - No, no dice, again.
Sorry, who are you trying to get a hold of?
The Botanical Society.
It's the most prestigious organization
in the flower-growing world.
We've been trying to get our competition sanctioned
by them for years.
We submit applications and...
Well, we were supposed to hear something back today.
Nothing, again.
Oh, could you excuse us for a second, Maisie?
- We got a customer. - Of course.
Botanical Society.
How can we help you today?
Sandy James?
Okay, follow me.
Great.
This is where we build all our floral creations.
A lot of our gardens are out back here.
Which you saw and trampled.
Right. Sorry about that.
We're gonna stage our competition over here.
Basically, we grow everything in various spots,
- all around the property. - It's gorgeous.
How long have you guys been here?
About 20 years.
I founded this place with my late wife.
It was always her dream to run a flower shop.
Wren came back a few years ago to help out
and he's taken over all the logistics,
deliveries, online orders. And everything for Bloom.
Wow. Sounds like you guys need
- to hire some more hands. - Ahh...
Has he told you anything about Bloom?
Not as much as I'd like. Please fill me in.
Oh , it's a genius idea. Bloom partners with local florists
who have the bandwidth to do same-day orders.
So, it's still on the smaller side but--
And we'd like to keep it that way. You know, family focused.
Would you ever take it national?
Not now, no.
Why not? I mean, it's such a great idea.
Apps like this, they spread like wildfire.
I bet you could get all kinds of investors
for something like this.
That's exactly what I was telling him.
Yeah.
Okay, that's enough. Dad, thank you for the tour.
Thanks again for the tour, Mr. Kunal.
Your place is gorgeous.
And I love that you're so behind the idea of expanding.
I mean, I think so too and you're really
onto something here, this idea is so--
Maisie, a word.
Right.
I should go check on these clients.
What was that?
- What was what? - That whole spiral situation?
I didn't... I don't spiral.
I don't spiral on purpose.
It just kinda happens sometimes
when I really care about something.
Classic people-pleaser move.
You know what? I think this is a mistake.
'Cause I wanted your dad to like me?
That's my point exactly.
I can't have the publicity of our business
being in the hands of some people-pleasing ladder climber.
Look, we said trial run, right?
Okay, I saw you're willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.
That's not something that works for me, sorry.
Wait.
What if I told you that I was able to get in contact
with Sandy James and she agreed to come to the competition?
Then I would say, "Sure, you can do your pilot here."
Well, I'm glad to hear it
because she already responded to my e-mail
and said that the Botanical Society is open to reviewing
the competition and they can't wait to see you guys in action.
- Um... - Great.
So, I will be back tomorrow with my crew.
By crew, I mean my field producer, Leah,
and we'll get started.
Have a good day, guys.
She's fantastic.
Yeah.
- Hey, Leah. - Hi.
- Here is your shot list. - Thanks.
- Need a hand with the gear? - No, I'm good.
Great, see you inside.
Hi.
- Hi. - Can I help you with that?
- No, thanks. - Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. I do this all the time.
Ah, you must be Maisie's camera person.
Yeah. And her field producer.
I'm kind of a Jill of all trades.
- And you are? - I'm Jasper Kunal,
this is my shop.
Are you sure you don't need a hand?
I'm sure. But you know, I will let you get the door.
Absolutely.
Yeah, so I think, if we start here...
And then we just pan this way and we come up this way a bit,
this way, to here.
Yeah, should be good. Thoughts?
That sounds great. I'll just get started
- on the establishing shots. - Can I give you a hand?
Not with your gear, but as a location scout?
- I'd love to show you around. - Sure, that'd be great.
- Let's put your gear over here. - Okay, Ms. Director.
We have a delivery to prep for.
It's for a pregnancy announcement in less than an hour.
Easy enough.
Oh, is it now?
Okay. Go ahead.
You want me to...
Well, yeah. If it's so easy, be my guest.
Right, yeah. Okay. Um...
Well, you'd start with some of this, right?
Couple of these in here.
And some of these.
Let's see.
And, voila!
That's pretty good for my first go-round.
Uh, yeah. Okay, um, mind if I jump in?
Well, if you have to, but not because my creation isn't flawless.
Ah, all right. For this one,
we're gonna use pink and blue flowers.
Ah, for boy or girl.
Exactly.
Happy birthday, wedding, engaged...
Oh, baby.
Got a lot of options there.
Yeah, well, people have a lot of things to celebrate.
And we want to be ready for them all.
You know, you don't look like a florist.
And what does a florist look like?
Touchรฉ.
But no, it definitely wasn't my first career choice.
Hmm. What was?
I studied business at Warrington.
- Oh, that's Ivy League. - Yeah, um...
After graduation, I went to Silicon Valley
to work in tech, but... I don't know, it just never felt right.
In what way?
Well, I loved developing, but I didn't love the culture.
That whole Tech Bro lifestyle.
Just wasn't the right fit.
That's pretty.
Yeah, the person gifting the flowers asked for it.
Apparently, they have a hunch that it's a girl.
So, we're gonna feature a bright bunch of pink flowers upfront.
So, how did you come up with the idea for Bloom?
It was actually inspired by my mom.
When she knew it was a special occasion,
a time-sensitive one,
she would go out of her way to have that arrangement
ready that day. Even though it wasn't a service
that we advertised.
- That's really cool. - Yeah.
You know, this information would be great for the show.
- Let me get my camera. - Ah, no.
Why?
No on-camera interviews, remember?
All right, you hang out here and I'll be right back.
Oh, are you going to do the delivery?
- Well, yeah. - Then Leah and I are coming.
- How about the next one? - Wren. This was our deal.
Okay, fine, but just you. All right?
I don't want this moment to be ruined by something that is superfluous.
- Okay. - All right.
Also, you need to wear this.
So we look like a team.
Oh.
- Willow Smith? - Yes.
- These are for you. - Thank you.
And don't mind the camera, it's just for promotional use.
Congratulations, soon-to-be Mom.
You're gonna make the best mom in the world
and we can't wait to meet the newest Smith family member.
And maybe spoil her just a little bit.
Your mother-in-law reached out to us this morning.
Ah, that's so sweet.
So thoughtful and so quick.
"Her". I like how she snuck that in there.
She's been convinced we were going to have a girl
the moment we got married.
Well, she seemed pretty sure on the phone.
She guessed all four of our nieces
and nephews correctly, so...
We need to call her to say thank you.
Who gets same-day flowers?
These must have cost an arm and a leg.
Not with Bloom, we have affordable,
same-day delivery for all your special moments.
And again, congratulations.
We've been waiting a long time for this moment, and this,
it just makes it feel real.
What do you think, boy or girl?
A girl.
I mean, a boy would be great,
but we've always wanted a girl. Thank you guys again.
This made my day.
- I should call my husband. - Of course.
You know, I should make a note to follow-up with them,
see if her mother-in-law was right.
- Are they all like that? - Yeah, pretty much.
Wow, that's really special, Wren.
I know.
You know, you really have something here.
Something that could go national very easily.
International even.
I don't know about that one.
What, why not? This could be huge.
Look, I like that right now we're family-owned and operated.
That's enough for me.
So wait, you want to get the competition sanctioned
by a national organization,
but you're scared to do the same for your business?
Okay, think of it like this.
When a college gets accredited, they're given the credentials
they need to enhance that one institution.
Not open up a million campuses.
That's what being sanctioned by the TBS is,
it's getting accredited.
Okay, but with scaling Bloom, what are you scared of?
- I'm not scared. - Mm-hmm.
I'm serious, I'm not scared.
It's just... It's not the right time.
Is there ever a right time?
Yes, in business.
- Well, then how will you know? - You just do.
See, I hate that answer.
Okay, it's a gut thing. Okay, you have to trust
that when it's right, you'll know.
And right now, my gut says,
I don't know, it's too soon.
Okay, so this pilot, it seems likes a big deal.
Only the single,
biggest deal of my career ever.
And my career is my life. So, yeah, kind of a bit.
Your career is your life.
Well, it's good to know you're keeping things in perspective.
Yeah, it's not really one of my strong suits.
You don't say.
No, this opportunity just feels... really important.
- How so? - I feel like,
it doesn't matter how hard I work,
I'm always two steps behind.
And this show, getting to do this pilot,
feels like a chance to catch up.
Yeah. You know when I was working in Silicon Valley,
I felt the same way.
Like I was always two steps behind.
Work was my life and I was just going so fast
in this one direction, everything else was just falling by the wayside.
You know what?
Didn't make me happy.
So, I decided to try and find balance.
I changed my life.
But if I slow down now,
then the opportunities will pass me by.
The right ones won't.
Sorry.
Ah, gotta run. I have a dinner thing.
We have our makeup birthday, valentine's day,
anniversary day with my boyfriend.
We don't get a lot of time outside of work, so,
this dinner's a really big deal. But um, I'll see you tomorrow.
- Yeah, tomorrow. - Okay.
Oh. Michelle, hi.
Quick question.
If Allee gets picked for the show,
then what happens to the Daily Social?
Oh, well, that's not decided yet.
- Could the show be cut? - Again, not decided yet.
Just keep up the good work.
We've both got a lot riding on this.
- For you. - Oh, thank you.
You know, I think last night was our first date
outside the office in like, eight months.
I was talking to John about that the other day.
How he and Ashley go out to dinner every week.
Who has time for that?
Not me. And I know not you.
Thank goodness, this... is so easy.
Is that bad, though? That we're so work obsessed?
Nah, I think it just means
we're gonna go very far in life.
Plus, I couldn't be with someone
who wasn't on my same page with ambition.
That's one of the things I like most about you.
Oh, gotta run. See ya, babe.
Hey.
Hey. Want to give me a hand?
Sure.
These are for you.
So you don't mess up that manicure.
Oh, you men this at-home DIY hack job?
I think they look nice.
All right, so today is food day, as I like to call it.
The day that we fertilize the garden.
Basically, each type of flower needs its own kind of fertilizer
and its own specific amount. Too much and the flowers
get overwhelmed. Too little, well, they won't get what they need.
They're a little high maintenance, aren't they?
Well, the best things in life usually require some work.
Some care.
All right, this is for those flowers over there.
What you want to do is water in a circle around the stock,
- for a count of three. - Okay.
One, two, three.
So has this always been your thing? Gardening?
Not at all. Growing up, I hated working in the garden.
I was a bit of an unruly kid.
What?! You? No.
My mom knew that the time a garden takes
and that working with my hands would be good for me.
She was right. This place, this co-op, it was her dream.
That's why I'm working so hard to protect it.
I absolutely understand.
I want to create a show that... uplifts people.
Gives them hope that there's still good in the world.
Have you been at TNW long?
A little over a year.
Before that, I was an assistant at a smaller network.
And my boss at the time, Rose, was a friend of Michelle's.
So, she referred me for the job at TNW.
And my career has grown leaps and bounds since I started.
I think in part because of my boyfriend, Nate.
He really pushes me, in a good way.
Why do I feel like there's more to that story?
I've always loved connecting with people.
Telling real stories that have heart.
It's not that TNW doesn't do that, it's just different.
Both of my parents were journalists too
and they did a really good job
of balancing the story and people that the story's about.
And I want to do the same.
Where are your parents now?
Retired in Florida living their best life.
You know, what I think I want out of my career,
well, in life really, is
to create entertaining content that makes people feel good,
while also educating them.
Oh, another order.
Looks like we need lavender for this one.
- Shall we? - Yeah.
Ah, that was my mom's.
She made it to show clients different flower options
and to inspire them to do more to bouquets
than just letting them wilt in the vase.
Each Bloom delivery comes with its own card
to give you an idea of what to do with the flowers.
- Like what? - Pressing them in glass,
drying them out, using them as decorations on gifts.
Basically, something to give you the idea
that where you start doesn't have to be where you finish.
I love that.
Ah, these are my favourite.
What?
Those were her favourite.
Well...
Great minds...
Have the same floral taste.
- Sarah Marks? - Yes.
- These are for you. - Um.
Read the card.
Congratulations on closing on your first house, you homeowner.
Guys!
Your friends let us know that it was your dream
to have a lavender bush in your yard,
so we included some seeds to get you started.
- Oh. - There's an info card
on the back with some instructions,
but feel free to reach out if you have any questions
or you need help with growing tips.
This is so cool.
Thank you.
Oh, can I grab a few statements from you guys
on why you chose Bloom to celebrate your friend?
Leah said she got all the establishing shots
and your dad was really helpful.
She sent me some of them and they look great.
- I can forward them to you. - Well, great.
I'm looking forward to seeing them.
I'm really happy with how this is all coming together.
Oh, sorry.
Hey.
Oh, yeah, of course, I'll head there now.
Okay.
Is everything okay?
I need to check on my niece, she fell at school.
Okay, well, I can drive you.
Thank you.
Andrew said I couldn't do it because I'm a girl.
Well, that's ridiculous.
So, I proved him wrong and then I jumped off.
Were you scared?
Well, you showed him, didn't you?
Guys, sorry.
Are you all right, sweetie?
Wren, this is my eldest sister, Heather.
It's nice to meet you.
He was with me when you called.
Offered to get us ice cream. Right, Lil?
- That was very nice of him. - It's my pleasure.
Turns out he and Lil have the same favourite flavour.
Cookies and cream for life! Wooh!
Mr. Wren, next time,
I'll show you how to jump off the swing.
Sounds scary, but it's not.
I'm looking forward to it.
Alright, come on, kiddo.
- Bye. - Bye.
Bye.
She's incredible.
I'm not exaggerating when I say she's literally
my favourite person on the planet.
Oh.
What's up?
Every year at the competition,
we do this theme-based centrepiece.
- Oh, what's this year's? - Well, that's the problem.
I have no idea.
With Bloom and the same-day orders,
I just haven't had the time to come up with anything.
And with the Botanical Society coming, I'm just...
Feeling a little stressed?
A bit, yeah.
Well, what have you guys done in the past?
Well, we had a local baker come in
and make a literal donut tree. With donuts and flowers.
- Okay, that's epic. - Yeah, it was a huge hit.
And then the year before that,
we did a flag of San Francisco made entirely out of flowers.
You guys have done some cool stuff.
Yeah, we have. But the pressure to one up your creativity can be--
- Intense? - Yeah.
But what if I helped you?
It's the least I can do for you helping me with Lily today.
Hold on.
Hey. What are you doing right now?
- Whoa. - Told ya.
- Hey, guys. - Hey, Jessica.
This is, Wren. Wren, this is Jessica.
Thank you so much for fitting us in.
Oh, my gosh, of course.
A creative in need is my calling. Come on.
So, what is all this?
I call it my "get out of a funk" zone.
Basically, when I'm stuck, I like to surround myself
with as many snippets of life as I can
to see what I gravitate towards.
What sparks creativity.
Okay.
What does this make you think of?
Uh...
Psychology class.
Okay.
What about this?
Sepia... A social media filter?
What about these?
Fabric samples.
Right, but what do they make you think of?
- Free association. - Buying a new couch.
Okay. And when was the last time you did that?
I really don't see the point of this.
The point is for you to get out of your own way.
Let your mind wander. Let go of control
so that you can get into the flow.
Okay, uh, buying a new couch.
I guess it reminds me of a few years ago.
The feeling of... change.
Change.
A fresh start.
New beginnings.
Great, keep going.
Um...
These.
Tell me more about these.
These are from my new upcycled collection.
Basically, I'm taking old dresses that need some love
and revamping them. Whether it's creating a new one
with the bodice of this one and the train of that one
or just repurposing the fabric
and using it in a totally new way.
So like, something old, something new.
And sometimes, something borrowed, something new too.
That's sort of genius.
But I guess all the Liston sisters are.
So, has anyone seen these pieces yet?
Uh, no. I haven't found the right moment to debut them to the world.
What if you showed them at the competition?
Hey, that could be cool.
And since this year's competition is televised,
we can have a message for upcycling.
- And sustainability. - Exactly!
That's one of the missions I've been trying to do for Bloom.
To encourage people to do more with their flowers
than just let them wilt in a vase.
To upcycle them, you could say.
I'd love to work together on that message.
But it's a flower competition.
Okay, so we make arrangements based on the spirit
of your designs, adding them to pieces
to create living pieces of art.
I think that's a great idea.
And this could be good for you publicly.
I mean, it might impress your potential investor.
- Is she local? - Mm-hmm.
Invite her to the competition. Show her your pieces in action.
That is... Wow, an incredible idea.
Are you sure?
I mean, it's the least we can do.
You partnering with us, showing your pieces.
You'd be doing us a huge favour.
Let's do it!
Let's do it.
But I need your help.
It'll come in handy having a wedding dress designer
as a sister when you get married.
Okay. What was that?
Oh, nothing. We're just uh...
Nate and I have been together since I started at TNW,
and we're starting to get the whole,
"when are you gonna take the next step" question.
And that's bad, why?
Oh, no. It's not bad.
We have a great working relationship.
We support each other's careers really well.
And we've grown leaps and bounds
since we started working together.
Okay. Well, what if one of you changes jobs
or your careers go in a different direction?
A relationship can't be based
on the common grounds of employment, right?
Okay, so he is pretty great.
- Who? - Wren.
Oh. Yeah. He's uh...
Not terrible to work with.
It's more than that because half the things
you were talking about weren't work.
Sorry, I might have overheard part of your conversation.
Yeah, he's nothing like what I expected.
He's funny and kind.
And... he cares so much about helping other people.
I think that this pilot is gonna be a really good thing
for him and his business.
I just wish he would let me interview him on camera.
Has he told you why he won't do it?
No. He just keeps saying no.
Whose turn is it to pick the movie?
- It is mine. - Oh.
What's that one for?
This is for a promotion,
so we use flowers to symbolize a fresh start.
So, how do you know what flower means what?
Have you heard of the book, "Le Langage Des Fleurs"
by Charlotte de La Tour?
That would be a negative.
Well, it's a book that was published in 1819,
that breaks down how people in the Victorian Era
used flowers to send secret messages.
And what each flower means and why.
Cool.
So, what does this one mean?
Purple Hyacinthe, that means, "I'm sorry."
Oh.
Friendship and joy.
Other interpretations, jealousy.
Ooh, that's layered.
"You're adorable."
White Camellias, that's what they mean.
They mean to tell someone that you think they're adorable.
So do you always use thematically correct flowers for your arrangements?
Pretty much, yeah. It's a way of bridging the past and the present.
Tell a full story. I read your brief.
You need hands-on footage, so, here's your chance.
You are gonna create this.
Don't worry, I'll coach you through it.
- On camera? - Come here.
Are you sure? The footage will be so much stronger
- if you were in it with me. - You're gonna do a great job.
Okay.
Ready?
And... rolling.
Where do I start?
Okay, the key to building a great arrangement
is the blend of textures, colours and heights.
So for this one, since your vase has a wider brim,
you're able to play a bit.
Your base is gonna give you
the structure and support and allow for your stems
to stay in place.
All right, move on to your greenery.
- Okay. - Placing them evenly around.
After that, you're gonna move onto your statement flowers.
The rule of three applies here.
So you're going to put one in the centre.
And two on the sides to balance it out.
That's it.
- Okay. - Perfect.
- How's that lookin' ? - That's looking pretty good.
All right, now we can move onto your accents.
And that's gonna fill in the spaces and add some texture.
You sure you haven't done this before?
I swear, it's my first time.
Now that you've done that, you can move onto your filler.
Baby's Breath is a personal favourite of mine.
Baby's Breath...
Oh!
That, we'll stick here.
With a little bit of this.
Okay.
- Did a pretty good job. - But?
But we gotta work on your spacing.
See how these two are a little too close?
Yeah.
Just gotta adjust them a little bit.
- So, more spread out? - Yeah.
- Okay. - Just like that.
- Okay. - Yeah, good to go?
- Yeah, let's go. - Yeah, sure.
Excuse me. We're looking for Abigail Green.
Oh, that's me. Uh...
This is just for promotional use, but these are for you.
Congratulations on your new job.
New job? What new job?
I can explain.
You're leaving?
I didn't know how to tell you.
I put in my notice with HR this afternoon.
But not with me.
Can I see you in my office?
That was...
Maybe we don't use that footage.
- Yeah, I agree. - We should go.
Yeah.
He's doing a great job. He has founded an app called Bloom.
And Bloom partners with local florists.
New job? What new job?
I can explain.
You're leaving?
I put in my notice with HR this afternoon.
But not with me.
Oooh, what's that?
- Oh, nothing. - No, that... that's great.
No, this is not tonally correct for my spec.
No, this is tonally perfect for your spec.
It gives it an edge. A fun, almost prank show angle.
That's not really what I'm going for.
The product you create has to make us both look good.
The stakes are high. People will love the drama.
I told Wren that I wouldn't use it.
Well, that's not his call to make. He signed a contract,
network owns the footage. Put that in your cut.
- Hey. - Hey.
I thought we could have a romantic 30 minute mid-work date.
I don't know about you, but I got another all-nighter ahead of me.
Yeah, I think I do too.
How's... your mom?
She's good.
She's stoked about my potential promotion.
Oh! I forgot to tell you, Zach approved my pitch.
Now we're just waiting on the rest of the team to say yes.
That's great.
So, your mom, um, how's her bridge club?
They're good.
Last we spoke she was proofreading my proposal.
She gave some really good notes.
She met a woman whose son is an executive
at Harrison & Stone. That firm in New York.
He wants to grab a coffee when he's in town.
That's... really cool.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just...
Nothing.
You can talk to me, Mase.
I'm here for you.
Always.
Oh.
Gotta run. Sales team needs me.
An interview with someone who can give insight
to how the business changed their lives.
Wren on camera.
Interview, interview, interview.
Hey, you've reached Wren, leave me a message.
Hey, it's me.
Wondering what your thoughts would be on me interviewing
one of the florists you guys have partnered with.
Give me a call back.
Hey, you've reached Wren, leave me a message.
Hey. It's me again.
I just wanted to try you one more time
before reaching out to Viola.
I'm running out of time, so please call me back.
Hi, I'm Maisie Liston from TNW
and I'm working with Wren Kunal on a new spec pilot on Bloom.
I would love to interview you if you'd be open to it?
Oh, you would? Great.
Yeah, sure, tomorrow morning works.
Okay.
Take one, Viola, in the flower shop.
- All right. Ready to go? - Okay.
Okay, and we are rolling.
So, tell me a bit about your business
and why you like working with Bloom.
Oh, well, I started my business
right after my kids left for college.
Starting a flower shop was something I always wanted to do.
I just never thought it could be a business.
Until I became a partner of Bloom.
They let me keep a steady stream of clients
and that let's me live my dreams, you know.
Gosh, I guess it was 1976...
Hey.
Oh! Hey.
Have you been standing there long?
I just walked in. What's going on?
Everything. Everything is going on.
I'm way behind setting up for the competition.
- You need some help? - Please.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay.
Yeah, this is gonna be great.
Oh! Leah, hey.
- Hey. - What are you doing here?
I was in the neighbourhood.
So, I thought I'd stop by and help out.
Yeah, I didn't realize how badly we needed
a second set of hands around here.
That is so nice of her.
I'm so glad that Leah... Has hands.
Let's get some more stuff.
Yeah, I think this is gonna work out great.
It's gonna look really good.
- Yeah. - Hey. You okay?
You look a little nervous.
The Botanical Society is coming.
The Botanical Society.
I'm trying not to be stressed, but then I'm--
- Stressing about your stress? - Exactly.
- Uh. I hate that feeling. - It's the worst.
Well, I have something that could take your mind off of it.
- An on-camera interview? - Maisie.
Why won't you do it, Wren?
You are so knowledgable, you're so good with people
and you're passionate about this.
Why don't you want to share that?
Because I'm worried that if I do the interview
I'll be associated with the brand as a founder.
I don't want that.
I want the florists who do the artistry
to be the shining stars. Okay?
I don't want this to be about me.
I want it to be about Bloom.
But you sharing your story could help people
who have great ideas have the courage to pursue them like you did.
And that's why I'm willing to put it out there, but without me.
- Wren, I just really-- - Maisie. No.
Hold on one sec.
- Hey! - Hey, Babe.
I'm just gonna go pick up the marketing materials
for the Kunal's Competition from the printer now.
Confirming we're still good to meet you?
Yeah, we'll be ready for you.
Great, see you then.
The marketing team will be here soon to deck out the tent.
Well, we'd better get started then.
Yeah.
Is it just me or do those two
clearly have a crush on each other?
They absolutely do.
I have never seen Leah this happy.
I think it's been years since my dad has been on a date.
Yeah. I don't think Leah's been on one since I've known her.
Think we should do something about that?
What do you have in mind?
You know, Leah's really great.
Oh yeah. Her enthusiasm is infectious.
I think she really likes you.
Why do you say that?
I don't know. She laughs at all you dad jokes.
Even the terrible ones.
She just happened to show up early before Maisie,
to help you set up.
And she lights up when you look at her.
I think you should go for it, Dad.
Looks great.
Okay. I think we're all done over there.
Yeah, I think we are too.
- You know what, Wren? - What's that, Maisie?
I think that we need to do something with this stuff over here.
Oh, yeah. We absolutely should.
Dad, what's that thing you wanted to ask Leah about, uh...
That wine and cheese tasting at Ava's Winery?
Leah, you love wine and cheese.
Yeah, I do love wine and cheese.
Well, we're just gonna--
Skedaddle.
- Skedaddle? - It sounded good in my head.
Well, I'd say that went pretty well.
Yeah. It did. And hey, if the whole flower-delivery thing
doesn't work out, we could open a matchmaking business.
- Matchmaking? - Yeah. I mean,
we're basically pros now.
- Hey. - Hey.
I got all the stuff in my car.
Great. Uh, Nate this is Wren.
- Nice to meet you, man. - Likewise.
Mase, can I get a hand? I need to get back to the office.
Oh, yeah. Of course.
Wow. This is a lot.
Nah, it's standard.
Okay.
Nate, can I ask you something?
Of course.
Where do you see us in five years?
Well, I see you taking over the network.
Crushing being on camera and maybe producing?
And I see me running my own marketing agency.
I mean, us as people,
outside of work.
I don't know. I haven't given it much thought.
I'm worried that our whole relationship is work.
You know, that we don't have a foundation
- outside of our careers. - Is that a bad thing?
Not necessarily, just...
Just might not be what I want.
Nate, I think you are incredible, I do.
You are so talented and driven.
You've been so supportive of my aspirations.
I'm just not sure if I want to build an empire.
I think I'm starting to realize
I need to explore who I am outside of my career.
And I want more out of life
than just what work can offer at this moment.
And I don't want to hold you back.
'Cause, you're crushing it.
Seriously, I could not be more proud of you.
While it makes me sad because you are so incredible,
I totally understand.
My career comes first and I can't compromise that right now.
Right! I would never ask you to.
I know you wouldn't.
I want you to be happy.
And if having more balance will give you that,
that's what I want for you.
Thanks, Nate.
Shall we get this stuff set up?
Okay.
I just have to say, son,
subtlety is not your strong suit.
- But did she say yes? - She said yes.
We're going out this weekend.
I'm so happy for you, Dad.
You know, I really like Maisie.
She's hardworking, passionate
and she is an excellent interviewer.
- Interviewer? - Yeah, we did it the other day
when you were on an delivery.
She asked me questions, she led me to the perfect responses.
She really does care about how our story is told, son.
All right, guys. That's it for today.
But um, see you tomorrow.
Uh, Maisie.
I was wondering if you wanted to grab a bite? Maybe uh...
Maybe?
Talk about an on-camera interview?
Okay, don't judge a book by its cover.
Oh, I would never. I know the, pizza joint rule.
The pizza joint rule?
The more hole-in-the-wall the place, the better the pizza.
- Always. - That's a pretty good rule.
Shall we?
Yeah.
I gotta say, I am loving the breakfast pizza.
Right? I mean the egg just makes it.
It's so good.
Okay. If I were to do this on-camera interview,
hypothetically, how would it go?
Well, I think we would start with your past.
You know, your education, your time in Silicon Valley.
Blend that with your mom, her passion for flowers
and your dad, the gardener artist at heart.
And how you're working to blend all three.
Show that you don't have to be
a Tech Bro to disrupt the tech space.
So...
I'd say something like that.
That doesn't sound too bad.
It wouldn't be.
Okay.
Fine, I'll do it.
I'll do the on-camera interview.
- Wait, really? - Yeah.
Yes!
Okay, Smiley McGee. What's going on?
I'm not Smiley McGee.
You absolutely are.
It's nice to see you this happy.
I'm always happy.
You have been in burnt-out hustle mode for like, a year.
But now, you're Smiley McGee.
You are ridiculous.
This doesn't have anything to do with the Kunals
and the flower shop situation, does it?
Heather told me all about how he helped saved the day,
when Lily took her tumble at school.
He was very nice and very helpful.
Hmm.
What?
I'm enjoying working with him.
And I feel like I'm creating a piece of content that says something positive.
Feels really good.
Well, whatever's making you this happy, sis, keep it up.
And, Nate and I might have ended things tonight.
He's great. He's so great,
but I realized that I need someone who's gonna support me.
Not just my career.
Plot twist.
But also, I'm kind of glad.
I mean, don't get me wrong, we all love Nate, but I agree.
Whoever you end up with should support the whole Maisie.
Not just career Maisie.
Rummy!
Oh. I was so close.
Yes!
Okay.
Ready?
Yeah.
Okay.
And rolling.
Ah, this way.
Please tell me your name and your job title.
I'm Wren, um...
Sorry, what was the question again?
Oh, that's okay. Just full name and job title.
I'm Wren Kunal and I'm...
I'm the founder of Bloom.
And I uh...
I help my dad run his florist shop.
- Can I take that back? - Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Hi, hello, hey. I'm Wren.
Uh, you can just say your name.
Right, yeah.
Maybe...
Deep breath. Yeah, you got it.
Hi, I'm Wren Kunal and I'm the founder of Bloom.
It's an app... That delivers flowers.
Okay. All right, and cut.
How's it going?
Oh, hey. It's all right.
I think we might need to take five.
We don't really have five.
We need to meet the team at the tent to finish setting up
and get a pool from the network execs before you film anything.
Oh. That's okay. We can just redo it over there.
Oh, uh... It's okay,
we won't use any of that footage, you're good.
Yeah.
- Hey, Viola. - Hey, Wren.
I'm sorry I missed you this morning.
Oh, but Maisie is fantastic.
I can't wait to see the pilot.
I uh...
How do you know Maisie?
Well, I filmed the interview with her
the other day for the pilot.
Oh, she's lovely. She came by the shop.
Anyway, I'm just calling to let you know that
the three orders that you sent me are out for delivery.
Uh, yeah, yeah. That's great.
Okay. Thanks, Viola. Chat soon.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Uh, did you interview Viola? - Yeah, why?
Well, you're supposed to talk to me about it.
- That was the deal. - Did you get my voicemails?
I left you multiple voicemails. I didn't hear anything back.
I figured if it was a problem, you would have said something.
This is me saying something.
- What's wrong? - It's a trust thing.
You should have waited for me to get back to you.
I didn't have time for that, Wren.
You know what kind of deadline I'm on.
Yeah, but I still should have been there.
What are you worried about?
Controlling the narrative? 'Cause if so, you're good.
The interview was sweet.
And it gives a good layer to the show.
I know how much this all means to you.
I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that.
I promise.
Come on.
Okay.
Hey, guys.
Wow. Look at all this.
Looks killer, right?
- It's uh... - It's a lot.
Nah, this is standard. I promise.
Hey, great interview this morning.
From what I saw, you got some really good stuff.
I'm gonna go see if my dad needs a hand.
Oh, Wren.
Can you give me a hand with the last of the banners?
- There's more? - Just like six.
Does all this TNW stuff seem like a lot to you?
Ah, it's a little more of a production than we're used to.
That's an understatement.
Well, it comes with expanding, right?
More production, bigger prizes, more exposure.
Yeah, I just... I don't want to lose sight of why we started this.
Oh, son. Growth, even if it's a little uncomfortable,
is a good thing.
So, do you feel like giving that interview a take two?
Yeah, yeah. Ah, sure.
All right, we'll start with um...
- Name and job title? - Yes. Exactly.
Hi. I'm Wren Kunal.
I'm the founder of Bloom, same-day flower delivery app
that wants to make your little moments a bit more special.
So, tell me more about your time with your mom,
when you were gardening, when you were little.
My mother, she was an incredible floral artist.
She would go above and beyond to get special orders done quickly.
Just to make peoples' celebrations
that much more special.
I decided that was a service that I wanted to provide.
And whether it was to congratulate you
or to tell someone that you love them,
we have a local team of artists that
want to do exactly just that.
And, cut.
Wren! That was fantastic!
- You think? - Yes, it was perfect!
- So, are we good here? - Yeah.
Oh, it's Sandy James from the Botanical Society.
Oh, I just have to take that.
Okay.
Sandy James, hi. I'm Wren Kunal.
Thanks so much for coming.
Thanks again for coming, Mrs. James.
Okay, competitors. Listen up!
Thank you so much for today. Your work has been incredible.
We're gonna pick the winners tomorrow.
So, go home and get a good night's sleep.
All right, thanks again.
Congratulations, son. Today was amazing. Big success.
Sandy. Kinda hard to get a read on.
I don't know if she liked what she saw today.
Oh. I'm sure she's just being professional.
Today was fantastic. It's the best one we ever had.
Let's go grab a bite to eat and celebrate. We deserve it.
Oh, hey, uh. I was just reviewing Allee's pilot.
It's fun. So much action, drama.
Right. Well, that's great.
I think the execs are gonna love it.
Did you get a chance to review mine?
I did.
Yours is just...
It's not in a great place.
It just doesn't fit tonally with what the network is going for.
Okay.
How about this?
Why don't you send me all your raw footage?
I will go through it, I'll make notes, send them off to the editor.
I know what you're going for with this.
We just need to jazz it up a bit.
Find the shots with sparkle.
I just... I don't know, Michelle.
It doesn't all need to change. Just strengthen it.
Tighten it up a bit.
You're really talented, Maisie.
I just want the execs to see that.
And I can help you get that pilot there.
Okay. Yeah.
I'll e-mail you the files now.
Good. I look forward to reviewing them.
Well, you look pretty.
Why do you look so pretty?
I don't look so pretty. I look normal. Normal pretty.
This doesn't have anything to do with a certain handsome florist guy?
The one with the muscles and tattoo, does it?
- What? No. - Uh-huh.
You have feelings for him.
I might have, like, a little, tiny feeling.
I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. I just...
He's unlike anyone I've ever met.
I can tell. In all the best ways.
Are you gonna tell him?
Once the pilot's done. Maybe.
Okay, yes. I will tell him.
Okay, good. Or I will do it for you.
Oh, my investor's on her way.
We'd better get to the competition tent.
Yeah, okay.
All right, competitors, you have two hours
to create your show-stopping, bridal bouquets.
Okay, your pieces today will be judged with those from yesterday
and the winner will be announced at the cocktail party tonight.
Your time starts right now.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Yeah, we'll talk soon.
How did it go?
So good. She wants to meet on Monday
to discuss us partnering together.
Congratulations, Jess. I knew it.
- Oh, thank you. - Oh.
It's so gorgeous.
Thank you.
Okay, here we go. Do we get this, the clacker,
is it a clacker board, right?
My cats...
Test, test, test, one, two, three.
I think I need more lipstick.
Is this a real director's chair?
My cats...
- My son... - Uh, I'm the founder of Bloom.
Bloom is an app.
- That delivers-- - Cats. My cats. My cats.
Can I see you in my office?
Hey.
What is this?
I have no idea.
You said you wouldn't use that footage
and that Viola's interview would make her look good.
I don't know what this is.
I can't deal with this right now. I got a competition to run.
Hi, Maisie.
What is that social media post, Michelle?
It was the network's idea.
Get people to vote on which show
they want to see in the new line-up.
You told me that you wouldn't use that footage.
Mm. I'm trying to help you get your own show here, Maisie.
I don't want to make that show.
No. I want to make a show that I originally cut.
Okay, I am trying to do what's best for both of us, Maisie.
I know for a fact they won't green-light that show.
Please take down the post, Michelle.
That is not what Bloom is about.
I'm sorry. I can't.
Then, I'll remove myself from the running.
I'll take my show out of the race.
That will make you take the post down, right?
No. The network could just give the show to someone else.
Michelle, please.
The execs like it.
I've got a lot on the line here, Maisie. I'm sorry.
My hands are tied.
What's up?
Michelle posted a clip to TNW's socials.
One that makes everyone at Bloom look bad.
I didn't mean for this to happen.
Can you take it down?
Michelle said no. That the execs like it.
Wren has every right to be upset. I would be too.
I can't keep compromising who I am and what I want
for other people's happiness.
I need to find Wren.
I'm sorry, Wren.
But... But Mrs. James.
What was that about?
They don't want to partner with us.
Oh, no.
It wasn't because of the post, was it?
It was, Maisie.
- Wren. - They said, they can't partner
with someone with this kind of publicity.
That they're an esteemed organization
that has a reputation to protect.
- I'm so sorry. - I trusted you.
And not only did you go against your word,
you cost me the thing that I've been working for for years.
It's like you're willing to do whatever it takes
to get ahead without thinking about others or how it might...
How it might affect them.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen, Wren.
I really didn't. I just...
There's nothing we can do about that now, is there?
Wren. I just...
Maisie, come on in.
I'm sorry to ask again, Michelle, but can you please take that post down?
That footage is not an accurate representation of Bloom or the Kunals.
I know that it's good for sensationalism and hits, but...
I also know that you, Michelle,
want to create content that's more than just clickbait.
You know, when I first started working at TNW,
I came her for you.
The content you put out was so good.
It was... funny, entertaining, but still heartfelt.
I'm not sure at what point you gave up on that vision,
but I need to make sure that that doesn't happen for me.
And part of that is fighting for what's right.
Which is taking down the post.
Please. Michelle...
I know you have a lot riding on this
and I really appreciate you taking a chance one me, but...
I care about these people.
I am really proud of you.
Maisie, I like this side of you.
You are passionate and purpose-driven.
I still don't think the execs are gonna sign off
on this version of the pilot, but...
I don't think so either, but maybe someone else would.
Hello?
Wren, this is Sandy James,
from the Botanical Society.
Hi, Sandy. What can I do for you?
Yes! Yes! Absolutely, yes!
Thank you, Sandy.
Don't thank me, thank Maisie Liston.
Have a fantastic day.
The Kunal family runs a local floral shop here
in the San Francisco area.
And what they're doing is revolutionizing the way
people experience flower deliveries.
Their groundbreaking same-day app, Bloom,
allows you to place and receive your flower order within an hour.
Never let a special moment pass you by.
Stay tuned for a look inside their business
and exclusive interviews with the father-and-son team,
Jasper and Wren Kunal.
- Hi. - Hey.
- I just, Wren-- - Maisie, look.
You go.
Purple Hyacinthe means "I'm sorry". Right?
I'm sorry... for letting that footage go up online.
For not standing up for what I knew was right at first.
Maisie, you have nothing to be sorry for.
- But the Botanical Society-- - They called.
We're officially getting sanctioned.
- Wait! Really?! - Yes, because of you.
Your pilot, they loved it.
Oh. I'm so glad.
TNW did it.
They wanted to make a show that was very different
from the one I imagined.
So, I removed myself from the running.
But Michelle agreed that there was something there.
Wait. So you did get the show?
With TNW's permission,
Michelle pitched my show to my old boss, Rose.
And she loved it.
She offered to buy the show from TNW. My version.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
I'm so excited about it.
And I would love for my first feature to be on you and Bloom.
Viola asked if we could do an in-studio interview
to promote her work.
But I wanted to run it by you first.
I don't know what to say.
Well, you don't have to decide right now.
Yes. I'd love to.
- Really? - Yeah. On camera.
Do you know what a sunflower means?
Adoration.
Maisie. I was so wrong about you, about all of this.
Thanks to you, we're looking to expand outside of San Francisco.
- Wren, really? - Yes.
You helped me see how selfish I was.
Keeping this all to myself, I just...
You were right.
There's something really special here.
I think we can make a lot of people happy with it.
I know you will.
Look, I know you're with Nate but--
Uh... We broke up.
He's great, but um,
our foundation was nothing but work.
And I need more than that.
I want to find balance. In all areas of my life.
- Balance, huh? - Yeah.
Someone really amazing helped me realize that.
Adoration, right?
Adoration.
Maisie Liston...
Can I kiss you?
Is there a flower for that?
I don't know. But we can definitely make one up.
Your favourite.
